We were expecting conditions even better then that on CQWW SSB. So, our target was 32 millions points. Someone said: “It’s too high for a no-rare DXCC like Brazil”. Yes, but with more fish on the barrel and 10m activity back on track, the team was challenged to try a top world score on M/2.

First night was amazing. Great signals on 20m, 40m and 80m. Even 160m seams fair from down here. But, after sunrise, as we moved from low to high bands, the rate dropped a lot. Conditions was very diferent from that on SSB leg.

Second night, conditions still fair, but bands were little slow to Europe. Fortunately, 10m was great on second day. Almost 3/4 QSO in 28MHz was made on second day.

So, we did a very good score, not enough to compete with semi-rare or unique DXCC like CR3L, but we have fun knocking down our own previous PY record from 2010 just after 24h and we did 90% of former World Record.
